Dear monkey man,

I remember selling the bicycle in the middle '70s. Atala had a similar set up but your bike was definitely better in workmanship. The tubing may have been Falk (spelling?) Or Columbus. If you are desperate, I may have an old bicycle buyers guide which can get more specific. Good luck.
